I purchased Black Tied because I thought it was a must have. I gave this 4 lippies because for the past 6 months I've been using Milani Storm. For the price, there is absolutley no difference....

Great color and I love the bit of shimmer it has to it. When first applied, and for the first couple of hours, it looks great. A perfect smoky eye. But after only a short amount of time, it creases...

Black Tied is a great black shadow. It works wonders for creating smoked out eyes, and does double duty as an eyeliner. I mostly use it wet as an liner. If you use the MAC mixing medium it works...

BLACK TIED NEVER LOOKED BLACK ON ME, THOUGH I LOVE IT! IT REALLY CHANGES COLORS DEPENDING ON THE SHADOW I USE IT WITH. IT IS NICE IF YOU WANT A SOFT SMOKEY EYE BECAUSE ITS NOT AS INTENSE AS CARBON,...

This is my first mac shadow. I never had a good decent black shadow and I wanted one with a shimmer so I picked this one, the price was a bit better than urban decays shadow and the glitter in it...

I bought this after watching a tutorial for smokey eyes. I am a very pale person, blue eyes, blonde hair and didnt think that it might not be the best choice for me for a smokey eye. I used this...

This is a great eyeshadow because it's highly pigmented, and has sparkles which don't fall all over your face! For products that do, please refer to Inglot eyeshadows...(not impressed). I love...

A very good black, pigmeneted shadow. I line my eyes with this during the day and it looks very natural but still noticable. At night I apply this all over my lid (not to heavily) for a smokey...

This is your basic useful black with sparkle in it that shows up as black with a little subtle shimmer. It's perfect to use with dark smokey eyes. I've also seen great swatches with Black Tied as a...

LOVE this black shadow. You can't go wrong using this to create a super sexy smokey eye . You can tone it down for a day look, but I use this for an evening smokey look only. I team this with...

This is an amazing black. I have others but none of them perform like this one does, MAC never fails to impress me. I love the speckling of silver through it, it makes it less harsh than other dark...

I love this smokey black shadow. It has some glitter running through it that doesn't give me the problems that some of the other posters have mentioned. I like using this lightly in the crease and...

I really like this for a sparkly smokey eye. it is very pigmented and does not turn grey. it is true black unlike UD Zero which you have to build a lot or a Sephora sparkly black that was TERRIBLE!...

I don't really like Black Tied, if I'm honest, proabably because I bought it online & based on the pic on the website, it was a deep, very glittery colour. There's hardly any glitter in it though...

I really love this eyeshadow. To me, this is pretty much identical to Uban Decay Oil Slick eyeshadow, so if you own that, no need to own Oil Slick (even though I do..hehe) Black Tied is a pure...

I got this free and I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. Yuck! I've never disliked a MAC shadow more than this one. It's very black with sparkles in it and I ended up looking like a street...

This is a very good eye shadow. It stays on very well and it looks great. The only thing is, is if you get it in an area that you don't want the eye shadow to be on it takes a while to get off. I...

This is a great color to add some drama for evening makeup. Similar to Carbon, but less pigmented and blends very well. Not too sparkly, just right.
